The eight essential components of the SSP set out in the Alma-Ata Declaration served as a framework. In addition, there were three dimensions of health care provider capacity: knowledge, skills and abilities [19]. Therefore, the core capabilities of HEALTH CARE providers consist of knowledge of appropriate PHC services, relevant skills to provide PHC services, and the ability to provide appropriate PHC services. In particular, the Alma-Ata Declaration outlined eight essential components of PHC [1], including: (1) health education on current health problems and methods to prevent and control them; (2) the promotion of food, including the food supply; (3) the supply of adequate drinking water and sanitation; (4) maternal and child health care; (5) vaccination against serious infectious diseases; (6) the prevention and control of local endemic diseases; (7) appropriate treatment of widespread illnesses and injuries; and (8) the provision of essential medicines. All these basic requirements are integrated into the SDGs for 2030, from Goal 2 to Goal 4 [5]. The results of this study showed that PHC providers had a perceived low to moderate capacity to provide PHC services, suggesting that there is a significant gap between the requirements of the SSP system and the actual performance of PHC providers. The result was consistent with the findings of other relevant studies. As Gotovac et al. have pointed out [9], while primary health care providers play an important role in assessing and resolving residents` health issues, there is a lack of adequate formal training for them. In particular, a national study conducted in Canada found that there is a lack of self-confidence, skills and adequate training in mental health care for mental health care providers, and providers themselves also recognize the gap and express interest in training programs to build their capacity when available [20].
Primary health care (PHC) is vital and necessary health care for people who develop practical, socially acceptable and science-based methods and technologies. Key primary health care (PHC) goals include equity, efficiency and affordability. Improving the quality of primary health care requires important basic requirements that help improve and maintain the health of the population, as well as front-line services to restore people`s health when they are not feeling well. The primary goal of primary health care is to provide the best possible health services for all and everywhere in a country, and the universal goal is to ensure adequate access to quality care at a reasonable price. The following primary health care requirements are necessary to achieve the goal of improving and maintaining the health of the population, as well as front-line services to restore people`s health when they are not feeling well. You can follow: Key Elements of Primary Health Care (PHC) The principles of PHC were first set out in the Alma-Ata Declaration in 1978, a historic milestone in global health. Forty years later, world leaders ratified the Astana Declaration at the Global Conference on Primary Health Care held in Astana, Kazakhstan, in October 2018.

PHC is the most comprehensive, equitable, cost-effective and efficient approach to improving people`s physical, mental and social well-being. Evidence of the significant impact of investing in PHC continues to grow globally, especially in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Xu GP, Zheng JL, Han JJ.

Chinese General Internship 2019;22(4):375–82 (in Chinese). SEANERN, founded in 2013, is a network of nursing and college professors from 13 countries in Southeast and East Asia who meet annually and are particularly well prepared and positioned to tackle the problem of education and training of primary health care providers [25]. Specifically, (1) you would develop a train-the-trainer model to deliver a high-quality training program; (2) Implement emerging training modalities such as crowdsourcing training, interactive case-based learning, high-fidelity simulation training and e-learning; (3) Adapt training priorities to different levels of PHC staff, e.g. Introductory training for beginners, enhanced training for core staff and management training for administrators. PHC members who scored lower in this survey deserve special attention, and targeted training programs can be designed and deployed for them. (4) Establishment of a multinational cooperation network within the already established SEANERN network in order to exchange successful experiences and solve problems. It is hoped that through these comprehensive countermeasures, a practical and achievable training plan for HEALTH CARE providers can be formulated in terms of purpose, content, implementation models, teacher readiness and improved capacity to provide PHC services. A multinational cross-sectional survey was carried out among the SEANERN countries. A Likert scale of 1 to 5 was used to measure eight components of the knowledge, skills and capabilities of PHC providers. Descriptive statistics were used and radar maps were used to represent the levels of the three dimensions (knowledge, skills and abilities) and the eight components. Turner BJ, Weinberg DS.

The basis of financial support was set on the assumed number of patients in the activity. This activity is very well characterized by the age of the patients. The authors found valuable changes from the variations studied in activity and age only between the overall and limited examples. Continuity of care means that people in the community receive quality health care over time. It is a method by which community members and health care teams combine into ongoing health management to obtain high-quality, cost-effective medical care. Continuity of care is important for chronic diseases: diabetes, high blood pressure, ischemic heart disease. However, since these diseases, if left unchecked, cause serious problems, the mortality rate is significantly reduced when controlled. Forty years later, leaders and stakeholders from government, the private sector and civil society have returned to Kazakhstan.
The Global Conference on Primary Health Care, held in Astana in October 2018, reaffirmed that primary health care is the most effective and efficient approach to achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals.
